INSERTING/REMOVING A SD MEMORY CARD
Inserting a SD Memory Card
Push the SD memory card in the direction of the arrow shown in the diagram.
J Do not insert the SD memory card while it’s upside down by force. Otherwise, it may damage the
SD memory card.
Removing a SD Memory Card
Gently press down on the exposed end of the memory card as shown in the diagram to
eject the memory card from the slot.
J Pressing too hard on the SD memory card can cause the card to shoot out uncontrollably from
the slot when released.
To pull out the SD memory card, turn off the encoder power or set the device to <Off> of
<Storage> and press the [Apply ( )] button. (page 69)
If you turn off the encoder or remove the SD memory card that contains data from the product,
the data may be lost or damaged.
If the SD memory is inserted and when record is on, the SD LED indicator on the rear of the
network video encoder will turn on.
If there occurs a problem in the SD memory, the SD LED indicator will blink.

●INSTALLATION & CONNECTION
MEMORY CARD INFORMATION (NOT INCLUDED)
What is a memory card?
The memory card is an external data storage device that has been developed to offer an
entirely new way to record and share video, audio, and text data using digital devices.
Selecting a memory card that’s suitable for you
Your network video encoder supports SD/SDHC memory cards.
You may, however, experience compatibility issues depending on the model and make of
the memory card.
For your network video encoder, we recommend you use a memory card from the
following manufacturers : SD/SDHC Memory Card : Sandisk, Transcend
It is recommended you use a memory card that supports at least Class 6.
Playback performance can be affected depending on the speed of memory card, so use
the high-speed memory card.
Memory Card Use
SD and SDHC memory cards feature a switch that disables writing data on to the media.
Having this switch to the Lock position will prevent accidental deletion of data stored in the
memory card but at the same time will also prevent you from writing data on to the media.

-Voltage drop measurements on the chart above may vary depending on the type and manufacture of
the copper cable.
Grounding the Product
Use screwdriver to connect grounding cable to the FG screw right next to the power inlet.
J Grounding protects the product from a surge or lightning.
When grounding, make sure to turn the product’s power off.
Recommended Grounding Cable
Length : Less than 3M
Gauge : 18 AWG or bigger
